Maple-Chile Popcorn! Mmm.. so worth it!

Ok.. I know you just read the title – and were grossed out. I was when I first saw it too. (I found this in a magazine – but have forgotten which one – SORRY! If you know, please tell me. I wrote the recipe down on scrap paper but don’t get the magazine at home.) Come on! You HAVE to try this recipe. Let’s be honest – hot food is not my deal either (well… not really any way.) And I know *hot* is totally relative – but this really isn’t spicy – just sweet with a little teeny kick (the size of the kick depends on the type of pepper you add to the mix. Start with cayenne the first time around -then adjust as you keep going.) Yes, you will want more.

Just to make it more intriguing – I’ve got photos for you!
